Tori was taken aback for a moment before her scarlet lips curved into a smile.
“Don't you feel jealous?” “Most people have a regular social life. Besides, isn't it
normal to have dinner with a female colleague? Josephine replied naturally. “l am
also having dinner tonight with a male client whom I'm planning to interview
soon!”
Tori wanted to upset Josephine by mentioning the meal she had with Ethan the
other day, so she was surprised by Josephine’s calm reaction to the news.
Nevertheless, she couldn't help adding with a cryptic smile, “Sometimes, it
means more than just a simple meal when a man invites a woman out for
dinner!”
“As far as I know, you were the one who took the initiative to invite him out for
dinner, Miss Alford!” Josephine rebutted Tori’s statement.
Tori’s expression turned ugly. Biting her scarlet. lip in frustration, she eventually
snapped angrily, “In any case, you better show me your best efforts if you want to
receive my approval! Otherwise, you will never pass the interview!”
After saying that, Tori threw open the door and left the meeting room in a huff.
Josephine breathed a small sigh of relief at Tori's departure. Then, she mulled
over the time. she spent with Ethan over the past few days. Just when did Ethan
have a meal with Tori?
When Josephine returned to the office, Katrina was chatting with another
colleague at her table. She couldn't help sneaking a glance and studying
Josephine’s expression to see how Josephine was feeling at the moment.
Unexpectedly, Josephine happened to meet her gaze when she glanced over.
Katrina immediately looked away and acted as though she had not noticed
Josephine’s arrival.
Josephine was a quick-witted woman. Holding a cup of tea in her hand, she
suddenly wondered about the incident earlier. Was it really a coincidence that
Katrina just happened to be gossiping with the others about that incident in the
pantry? Was it also a coincidence that she just so happened to speak in such a
loud voice right beside me?
Even if Tori and Ethan had dinner together, Katrina’s description made the whole
incident sound suspiciously ambiguous. It might be that the meal between Tori
and Ethan was completely platonic.
Josephine exhaled deeply and made her decision. I'll just be frank and ask Ethan
about the incident tonight! It'll be better than dwelling on these nonsensical
thoughts in my head and excessively depleting my emotional reserves as a
result.
Since she was young, Josephine had never been the type to conceal her
thoughts. If there was something she did not understand.or something was
bothering her, she would resolve the issue on the day itself so that she did not
exhaust herself with useless worries.
She abruptly recalled the statement Tori made earlier. It was evident that the
other woman was planning to make things difficult for her. When it was time to
get off work, Josephine wrapped up her tasks at hand and took the initiative to
contact Ethan.
“Hello! I'm on the way to pick you up. Let's check out the house later.” Ethan's
voice rang out from the other end of the line. He had planned to pick Josephine
up directly from the office because it was still pretty early. She chuckled softly.
“Sure! Drive carefully!”
She ended the call with a warm and fuzzy feeling in the pit of her stomach,
reveling in the knowledge that they were going to view their future home together
in a short while..
Fifteen minutes later, Josephine suddenly received an urgent case that required
an immediate response. While she was focused on writing her report, she felt
somebody approaching her from behind and leaning over her shoulder to look at
the report she was writing.
She turned to look behind her, only to be shocked by the sight that greeted her.
Ethan had come up to her office!
Her colleagues who had yet to finish their work were glancing over in envy. Mr.
Quarles is so handsome! He is also so kind to Josephine! He practically picks her
up and drops her off at work every single day! “Sorry! Please give me five
minutes to finish up the report, Josephine told Ethan.
“No worries. Take your time with the report.” Ethan pulled out a chair and sat
down. Glancing at the cup of tea beside her, he casually reached out and took a
sip from her cup.
